Blue Lupine

20 seeds

To seed Blue Lupine (Lupinus perennis), choose a sunny location with well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Scarify the seeds by lightly nicking or soaking them for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep and water gently. Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually occurs in 14-30 days. This perennial produces tall spikes of vibrant blue flowers, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Blue Lupine is perfect for wildflower meadows, prairies, and naturalized gardens. It also helps improve soil health by fixing nitrogen.
